Swing time on Turkey Day- part 2

Oh so fun to pull up and stand

A few little tears make those baby blues sparkle so. Babies are cute even when they cry.

Grab ahold...

pull up...

and you're standing.

So much fun!!!

Our little character

Here, in these first 3 photos, Amaya is enjoying one of her favorite activities. She likes to use me as a jungle gym, and this happens often when I am taking pictures of her. Thus the close-up.

She crawls over my legs, onto my lap, and stands beside me and pulls up on my knees so that she can stand. This gives her the perfect opportunity to go for my glasses and/or my hair.

Here she is being silly during our jungle gym game. What a character.

Just prior to these two photos, I had struggled with the monkey to change an "icky" diaper. She did not want her play interrupted to have a diaper change, so she was all over the place during the event. As soon at the clean diaper was on and fastened she was "out of there." She didn't stick around to have her clothes put back on. So, as you can see in these two photos, she's having a ball crawling around in nothing but her diaper. Oh so silly. What a character.

Look at me, I can stand

Amaya loves to pull herself up and check out what treasures can be found on the coffee table.

Here she discovered two of her pacifiers.

Smiling for the camera.

Studying her "find."

Oh so cute and sweet!

Amaya's Latest

Amaya continues to be a joy. She's a little sweetheart. She's very smiley and loves to laugh and giggle. She waves, claps, climbs, crawls both military and regular style, pulls up to stand, stands while holding on to something and she continues to be very vocal. She loves to play, play, play, and explore, explore, explore. And she loves going out and about, making errands, shopping and meals out endlessly entertaining. She loves to go for walks in her stroller and the baby bjorn. And she loves people, so she has enjoyed the endless stream of contractors coming through our house this past month (1 year warranty work time on our house), thank goodness. It would have been challenging if all the strangers scared or upset her. She's growing and changing everyday, slowing morphing from baby to toddler. It's fun to watch her learn and transition towards toddlerhood. It's going fast, so we're trying to savor every moment. That's all for now. Have a good one!

Love always,

SBandA

A few more Halloween pics

As you can see in the rear view photo, Amaya is following daddy to the door to check out the trick-or-treaters. She got excited when the door bell rang and seemed to enjoy seeing the kids-in-costume.

Halloween pics...finally.

As you can see, Amaya was a sweet little monkey.
